I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 210 Punishment

The world of fame and fortune is full of servile people, but the Shen family must not be among them. This is what Shen Zhuang often taught them.

Shen Guiling couldn't help but looked up at the girl beside him again. She was really serious about carrying it out.

Yao Ge never expected that Jiang Huashan could turn the tables like this. This banquet was related to the election of the chairman of the parliament, and even more so to whether Shen Nian could come back. Seeing that the situation was not good, Yao Ge reached out to grab the wine glass from Jiang Huashan's hand without thinking.

"Shanshan, if you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for taking action myself."

Jiang Huashan had been on guard against Yao Ge, and when she was about to make a move, she gently turned her wrist, loosened her fingertips, and the high-footed crystal cup fell vertically to the ground.

There was a loud bang, causing quite a commotion.

"you……"

"What?" Jiang Huashan grabbed Yao Ge's wrist and whispered in her ear, "Family honor is never the responsibility of any one person; it's an honor that every family member should jointly defend. If my aunt doesn't even understand this, how can grandpa trust my uncle to continue sitting on the chairman's seat?"

These words startled Yao Ge. Before he could react, he saw a group of men in suits walking out of the crowd. The man in the lead was extremely tall and looked like a small mountain when he moved.

Seeing this, Mo Ran stepped forward to stop them, "Who are you?!"

The man pushed Mo Ran away and stopped in front of Jiang Huashan with a fierce look.

"Miss Jiang."

"Zheng Song?" Yao Ge's panic was truly revealed at this moment. "Why are you here?"

Jiang Huashan, "When I left, I told Grandpa that I was going to Jinwan to play. Grandpa was afraid that I wouldn't have a good time, so he sent Zheng Song here."

It was easy to say, Zheng Song was Shen Zhuang's personal bodyguard, always by his side. And now he was showing up in Jinwan just because of Jiang Huashan? This was a privilege not even Shen Lanxi could possibly get.

Yao Ge managed to calm himself down and broke free from Jiang Huashan's hand. "What on earth do you want to do? I'm warning you, today's banquet cannot afford to fail, otherwise it will also damage the reputation of the Shen family."

Jiang Huashan looked relaxed, "Don't worry, I know." Then he tilted his head and nodded at Yan Meiting, "Zheng Song, please ask Governor Yan to go out and drink the penalty drink."

"?" Yan Meiting was stunned and turned to look at Yao Ge, "Mrs. Shen!"

Yao Ge also looked incredulous, "What do you mean by drinking a penalty drink?"

Jiang Huashan's eyes sparkled with a smile. "I've already said it before, if you don't drink the toast, you'll have to drink the penalty drink. Governor Yan made his own choice. We're all adults now and can pay for our own choices. Zheng Song, what are you still standing there for?"

"Yes."

Zheng Song had the typical face of a villain, with a half-ghost tattoo covering half of his face. Yan Meiting trembled with fear as she watched this evil person approaching.

However, she was still betting that Jiang Huashan would not dare to do it in public.

Unfortunately, she was unlucky. Zheng Song picked her up like a chicken. Yan Meiting couldn't help but scream in fear, begging for mercy, "Miss Jiang, I drink! I drink!"

Jiang Huashan covered her ears, feeling the irritation, "It's so noisy."

Zheng Song immediately clamped Yan Meiting's neck. Yan Meiting's eyes went dark and she could not make a sound.

Such a grand ceremony had already attracted the attention of the guests. Yan Meiting was the governor of Jinwan, and everyone here knew her. But even she was being treated like a chicken. Who would dare to mess with her?

Yao Ge didn't expect Jiang Huashan to be so bold. With Zheng Song present, she could only control her temper and speak kindly, "Shanshan, just teach her a lesson. Everyone is watching..."

Jiang Huashan, "I just want everyone to know that if you don't drink the Shen family's toast, this is the end. Drag it out."

"Yes." Zheng Song followed Jiang Huashan's lead throughout the whole process. At her command, the man threw Yan Meiting to the ground and dragged her out by grabbing one of her arms.

Yao Ge's heart ached with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you? She is the governor of Jinwan Prefecture after all."

Jiang Huashan said, "If we can't finish the wine, we won't have it tomorrow." After that, she smiled and looked at the Jinwan officials in front of her, raised the strawberry juice in her hand, and said, "The future development of Jinwan still depends on all of you here. Grandpa can't be with you in Jinggang Port, so I'll toast to you all on his behalf."

As soon as the words fell, officials of all ranks in the high-ranking officials' seats immediately stood up and rushed to pour themselves wine. They did not raise their glasses with both hands until they were full.

"Miss Shen, you're welcome."

Most of them didn't know Jiang Huashan's identity, but seeing that she acted so arrogantly that even Yao Ge couldn't do anything to her, they thought she was the eldest daughter of the Shen family.

Jiang Huashan didn't explain, but turned his head to clink glasses with Shen Guiling, "Cheers."

She tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp, squinting her eyes slightly as she swallowed, and her pink lips were dyed a bright red by the strawberry juice.

Shen Guiling lowered his eyes and swallowed the orange juice with ripples. In an instant, he felt the whole mouth was filled with the sweet and sour orange fragrance.

He doesn't like sour or sweet, but the combination of sour and sweet seems to hit his taste buds at once.

The little incident at the banquet was eventually whitewashed, and everyone continued to sing, dance, and chat happily. The only difference was that no one dared to get within three steps of Shen Guiling, let alone Jiang Huashan. No matter where she went, no one except Shen Guiling dared to stand next to her within a radius of five meters.

Yao Ge looked at the backs of the two men, one tall and one short, standing side by side, and his whole body was twitching with anger.

Mo Ran walked forward carefully and reminded in a low voice, "Madam, Mr. Bai is here."

Yao Ge's expression changed slightly, "Where is it?"

Mo Ran, "I was in the banquet hall just now, but I've returned to my room now."

Yao Ge turned to look at Shen Guiling in the crowd, thought for a moment and finally calmed down.

"Humph, you think I can't do anything to you just because you called a little lunatic? You're really naive. Let's go! Let's go meet Mr. Bai."

"Hmm~ Why is this blueberry cake so sour? Yao Ge is too stingy. Can't he hire a better pastry chef?"

Jiang Huashan was picky at the dessert counter. After trying several times, she refused to touch anything except strawberry flavor.

Shen Guiling casually glanced at the crowd and saw Yao Ge and his assistant hurriedly leaving the banquet hall.

"Shen Guiling, do you like sour food?"

Shen Guiling casually withdrew his gaze, was silent for a moment, lowered his head and asked, "Did you drink that glass of orange juice just now?"

Jiang Huashan stared. How did he guess that?

Her experience from two lifetimes taught her that alcoholic beverages at banquets should never be touched. Yao Ge didn't dare offend her for the time being, so she assumed that any food she could eat must be safe. So she deliberately drank a sip of orange juice in front of Mo Ran, and when she saw that she didn't try to stop her, she gave the safe orange juice to Shen Guiling.

"I didn't drink." In order to prevent Shen Guiling from thinking too much, Jiang Huashan subconsciously argued.

How do you know it tastes sour if you haven't tried it? It's just bluffing when you lie.

Shen Guiling didn't dismantle her, and naturally returned to the first question, "I don't like sour things."

Jiang Huashan nodded and handed him the blueberry cake in her hand. "Here you go."

“…” Shen Guiling looked at her.

Jiang Huashan pointed at the tiny chip on the cake and said, "Don't worry, it's clean. I just scooped a small piece with a spoon and left it alone."

Shen Guiling, "The banquet won't be over for a while. Are you planning to eat everything first and then give it to me?"

And it’s sour.

"Eh?"

So he knew! That's right, Shen Guiling's brain is not comparable to that of an ordinary person.

Jiang Huashan had a selfless face that hid his achievements and fame, "Just so you know, I did this to protect you."

Shen Guiling raised her eyes and said, "Protect me, or protect the honor of the Shen family."

Jiang Huashan frowned, looking embarrassed. "Boys shouldn't be too smart. No one wants them if they are too smart."

With someone like Shen Guiling, if you try to play tricks on him, he will trick you back, and there's no sense of accomplishment at all.

Shen Guiling, "We prosper together and suffer together. You can allow others to bully me, but you will never allow anyone to step on my shoulders and trample on the Shen family. So, your protection has nothing to do with me, it only has to do with the Shen family, right?"

Jiang Huashan glanced at him and said, "That's right, why say it out loud?"

Shen Guiling smiled and said, "You are all the same."

After saying that, he turned and left the banquet.

Jiang Huashan was bewildered. No way! Did this socialite get fired up? He was forced to toast by an old woman, yet he still smiled and called her "Auntie." She had helped him after all, and this was his attitude?!

Shen Guiling had a cold face, but as soon as he stepped out of the banquet hall, the anger on his face disappeared immediately.

He stood at the banquet entrance for a while, but ultimately did not look back and walked towards the lounge area in the outer hall.
